DJ Commanduh:
He closin’ Gitmo Feb 30th—de 31st at de latest
Goin’ down as de mos suckcessfull, de greatest
He promiz dem ol’ fools sum “hope an’ change”
But, gib ‘em de gud feelins ob dope an’ strange!
Amazing AG:
Keepin’ investagashuns open ‘til Halley Comet return
‘Til Magnificent Montague relight “Burn, baby burn!”
Now, he de greatest ob all time when it come to de AGs
Gib us ‘bout as much just-us as de ropes, an’ de trees…
Legussees:
Lak de Grammies, de Oscurs, an’ de $elekshuns
Lak monkeyshine tawk ‘bout de bannin’ ob guns
Dem small negroz de one worryin’ ‘bout legussees
While dey’s dyin’ lak flies from Mulehead disease!
